Ant Control

plethora87July 24, 2012

Hello,

What's the consensus nowadays on keeping ants off of trees? I know Tanglefoot can trap them but I'm wondering more about what to put between the tree and the Tanglefoot, particularly this time of year when it's humid out -- I just tried some foam tape (for flexibility) and it trapped too much moisture against the trunk.

Wrapping a ring of 1" wide masking tape on a smooth area of the trunk with the sticky side facing outward....is sure cheap and easy. The rings can be replaced after they are full of bugs or when the stickiness has diminished.
